Meet Your Coach

Hey there, I’m Annette Bechtold, the brains and heart behind Forte Consulting Atlanta! You might be wondering how a self-proclaimed non-team sports enthusiast ended up founding a coaching business, right? Well, let me take you on a quick journey.

Originating from the Chicago area, I kickstarted my career in the wild world of insurance claims. Back then, computers were more like glorified file cabinets than the thinking machines we know today. Fast forward a bit, and I found myself in a supervisory role, ready to rock the world after some killer training – or so I thought.

Promotion day came, and surprise! No training, no manual. Just more responsibilities and fewer tools. Talk about a plot twist! But hey, life’s full of surprises, right?

Fast forward again to a stint in volunteer leadership at my church, and coaching entered the scene. It was like finding a missing puzzle piece. The light bulb went off, and I told my husband, “This is what I’m supposed to be doing.”

And voila, Forte Consulting Atlanta was born! Why? Because I realized that while everyone talks about training for tasks, not many focus on equipping leaders. So, I decided to change that narrative.

Now, as the Chief Inspiration Officer at Forte, I’m on a mission to make leadership growth fun, impactful, and accessible. No boring workshops here – just a mix of real talk, aha moments, and maybe a sprinkle of humor.

Whether it’s navigating challenges, embracing change, or crafting your own leadership legacy, I’m here to make the journey exciting. So, buckle up and join me in rewriting the rules of leadership at Forte Consulting Atlanta. Let’s add a bit of pizzazz to your success story!
